Welcome to "Made among oak trees" My name is María Isabel, here is a new

tutorial. Hello, my name is María Isabel and I am going to

teach you today how to cut a pirate´s hat and I'm going to give the guidelines for

sewing too. It is a size around 3 years old to 10 years old.

Before cutting, fold a paper in half

you mark 20 centimeters wide and 15 centimeters high and then here 22

centimeters to the top. I'm going to teach how to cut it.

First you can try on a small piece of paper and then you can do it on a large piece of paper

with the measurements [ I gave before]. Instead of cutting it straight I'm going to cut it a

little bit downwards.

until I get to 20 cm. Instead of cutting it straight up I'm going to

cut diagonally

and now I'm going to cut it straight and I'm going to do a curve and I cut like a rounded

mountain.

and if I open it Well, there's the pirate´s hat.

It may look like this or else at the

top, so I cut a semicircle

and it stays too close together so what I do is cut this part this way

I cut this peak

and here is the pirate´s hat. When cutting it

you have to leave one centimeter and a half for seam allowance. On the sides above and

down do not leave any seam allowance because there is a zigzag seam [at the edges]

I have used a fabric that has as a Wadding inside, it is quite

rigid and I see it quite appropriate. Before sewing the sides

I have sewn this bias.

It serves as an ornament, [before sewing the sides]

because it matches with the eye patch and the corsair shawl that are also red.

It is red but it could also be golden.

There is a zigzag seam at the botton, 5 cm. long.[ on each side]

And I have sewn a 4 cm. long velcro strap

on each side. I have placed the rough part on one side and the smooth part on the other side

Now , you can see the right side up, it can be

opened and it adjusts to the width of each head, wider or

narrower Well then

let's do it
